I began eating muesli in my late teens. I loved the milky mixture of oats and grains and sultanas – and knowing it was good for me. Through the years as muesli became more mainstream, I noticed my morning bowl was becoming more colourful and sweeter. A time came when my doctor and dieticians told me my breakfast was no longer good for my long-term health. The exotic pieces of dried fruit were pushing up my sugar levels. The nuts lurking in the dried fruit were harming my teeth. Something had to change.I looked for a simpler, tastier, gentler product on the shelves, but I couldn’t find it. What was I looking for? I knew organic wholegrain oats were important. I knew a sprinkle of coconut would be good. Ground sunflower and linseeds were super healthy. A strategically placed sultana would be divine. I remembered Amaranth puffs, the South American superfood. And ground Brazil Nuts, rich in the health-preserving mineral Selenium – every nutritionist recommended them. I mixed these ingredients in my kitchen like an inspired scientist. Until I got what I wanted. The magic mix. Spring Grain.Now here’s the genius part. It’s your muesli. I’m giving you the basics, a cereal that works beautifully by itself. However, if you want to augment your muesli experience you can. Add half a chopped pear one day. A handful of berries the next. The corporations aren’t sweetening your muesli – you are. Add your chosen milk. And as a final treat, perhaps a loving spoonful of natural yoghurt on top. How will it taste? Just like Spring Grain.

This is great. My breakfast these days is mostly steel cut oatmeal with nuts and fat-free yogurt so I would definitely get this.

er, Graining The Bowl For You
But that makes the song all the more viable for advertising - they missed their chance to cash-in with Quaker Oats!
Joking aside, it's strange how old white guys are like the go-to face for breakfast grains now, between the Quaker dude, the late Wilford Brimley, Bob's Red Mill and now Robert.
